Preview New Blockbusters from John Grisham, Chris Bohjalian, and Harry Belafonte

We've always been partial to October. It's when we pick apples, celebrate Halloween, and this year, read a new novel by John Grisham. America's master of the legal thriller returns with THE LITIGATORS, an entertaining romp filled with courtroom strategies, theatrics, and suspense. This month also brings a memoir by the legendary Harry Belafonte. In MY SONG, Belafonte recounts his extraordinary life as an artist and as an activist. October 2011 also marks the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH. In honor of this milestone, Random House Children's Books has published THE ANNOTATED PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH, which is a classic in its own right.

THE LITIGATORS Written by John Grisham Category: Fiction Available Oct. 25th $28.95 http://information.randomhouse.com/HS?a=ENX7CkR1RUUm8SA9MOBUdVnnGHxKQ5VsnfcStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_HheFjplN1

The partners at Finley & Figg--all two of them--often refer to themselves as "a boutique law firm." Boutique, as in chic, selective, and prosperous. They are, of course, none of these things. What they are is a two-bit operation always in search of their big break, ambulance chasers who've been in the trenches much too long making way too little. And then change comes their way...

THE LITIGATORS is a tremendously entertaining romp, filled with the kind of courtroom strategies, theatrics, and suspense that have made John Grisham America's favorite storyteller.
